The Lagos State government has restated that the Third Mainland Bridge will be closed by 11am on Tuesday, January 9, 2024, for continuation of its rehabilitation by the Federal Ministry of Works.
Consequently, the Iyana Oworonshoki-Adeniji Adele bound will be closed to motorists for the effective repairs of the entire section of the bridge.
However, to ease the burden of commuting, the state government has made the following arrangements:
From 12am to 12 noon, the bridge will be open for Mainland Inbound Island travels while those coming from the Island to the Mainland are advised to use Eko Bridge.
Conversely, from 12 noon to 12am, motorists will be able to access the bridge from the Island to the Mainland while motorists from the Mainland heading towards the Island will have to use Eko Bridge.
These timings, according to Oluwaseun Osiyemi, the state transport commissioner, have been selected to match the peak period flow of traffic and reduce travel stress. Please cooperate with our traffic management officials who will be helping out.
